Yeah, there are apartments on Ina. The thing with Ina is that the street changes names while it's basically the same. Ina Road turns into Skyline Drive, which becomes Sunrise Drive. I find this so stupid.

Nothing will ever beat Pensacola in the name changing game of roads....my favorite: Perry Ave turns into Bayou Blvd which turns into Brent Lane which turns into Beverly Pkwy which turns into Michigan Ave which turns into Saufley Field Road. Yay FL SR 296. lol

This is ridiculous! No, I don't know the names of the apartments. They should show up in searches. No students live in this area.

That drives me crazy too. And also like Kolb/Grant and then what is it...Tanque Verde/Wilmot/Wrightstown.

Add in the fact that U-Turns are commonplace around here and it can really confuse a midwest gal.

The Tierra de las Catalinas (condos rather than apartments, but some units are for rent) on Skyline (about the point it changes into Sunrise) are nice units in a very very nice area. We stayed in one of the units while on vacation down there. Didn't look like any students to me.

LOL, this intersection is such a joy for newcomers, isn't it?!

What'd you mean? Don't you ever change your mind in the Midwest?! Or get into businesses on the other side of the road...?

I'm annoyed by the leading green arrows on Houghton as they're not common in town. The other day I was at Golf Links and saw the oncoming traffic started moving and my instinct was to start moving myself, but not so...

Well, often there isn't that divided area as much (at least where I was at. Though it is becoming more common) but you'll also see plenty of "No U-Turn" signs. Don't get me wrong, I like it as it simplifies some options for turning etc. The first couple of times I did it I felt as though I was gonna get 'caught'.

Lame. I know.

So, I've gotta ask... I have lots of relatives in MI, and a few years ago while I was visiting, my aunt was trying to give me directions. She was trying to describe how to turn around without making a U-turn, and she called it a "dickaround". Of course, I think like a 13 year old boy, and started giggling. Is that really what they're called, or was it just her?
